The new Quantas Q1-100 series diode pumped, fully air-cooled, Q-switched laser is designed for a wide range of applications that require high peak power pulses. Due to good thermal properties of the Nd:YAG crystal laser, it delivers up to 25 mJ at 100 Hz repetition rate. This laser is an ideal tool for applications like Light Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS), LCD repair, semiconductor failure analysis, laser ablation, remote sensing and many others.

Less than 10 ns pulse duration allows efficient fundamental wavelength conversion to higher harmonics with 213nm as shortest wavelength available. Wavelength extension into the infrared range by use of OPO is available by request.

TEC based cooling eliminates risks associated with water cooling (like leaks, circuit shortening etc.). Furthermore, it reduces running costs as no maintenance is required. Low jitter triggering pulses for user equipment are available with up to 300 μs lead in internal triggering mode. If required, laser pulsing can be externally triggered from a delay generator. The laser can be controlled via built-in Ethernet port trough a web‑server. There exists the option to add a Wi-Fi adapter. It allows users to monitor and control the laser remotely.
